Giant Modulation of Interlayer Coupling in Twisted Bilayer ReS2 by Krishna P. Dhakal, Trang Thu Tran, Taegeon Lee, Wooseon Choi, Sean F. Peterson, Juan M. Marmolejo‐Tejada, Jaeuk Bahng, Daekwon Lee, Vu Khac Dat, Ji‐Hee Kim, Seong Chu Lim, Martín A. Mosquera, Young‐Min Kim, Heesuk Rho, Jeongyong Kim

“…Such a wide modulation range for the interlayer coupling strength of tBL ReS2, which significantly affects the band structure, is also shown by the systematic shift in the low‐and high‐frequency Raman modes and results of a strain study using scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging. Density functional theory calculations on moiré superlattice tBL ReS2 structures confirm a consistent increase in the bandgap with the twist angle. …”
